Psalm 55:3-11

³at the voice of the enemy,

at the pressure of the wicked.

For they release disaster upon me

and revile me in their anger.

⁴My heart murmurs within me,

and the terrors of death assail me.

⁵Fear and trembling grip me,

and horror has overwhelmed me.

⁶I said, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove!

I would fly away and find rest.

⁷How far away I would flee!

In the wilderness I would remain.

⁸I would hurry to my shelter,

far from this raging tempest.”

⁹O Lord, confuse and confound their speech,

for I see violence and strife in the city.

¹⁰Day and night they encircle the walls,

while malice and trouble lie within.

¹¹Destruction is within;

oppression and deceit never leave the streets.

— Psalm 55:3-11
